SUMMARY
A number of FoxPro functions use a function key as a hot, or shortcut, key;
however, many Macintosh systems use keyboards that do not have function
keys. To emulate function keys on these systems, you can use a
CONTROL+COMMAND+<number> key combination.
MORE INFORMATION
The hot key to bring the Command window forward is COMMAND+F2. FoxPro for
Macintosh treats the CTRL and COMMAND keys the same, allowing users that
don't have function keys to mimic the COMMAND+<function key> combination.
To do this, hold both the CTRL and COMMAND keys down while pressing the
number of the function key to activate. For example, the Command window hot
key combination would be CTRL+COMMAND+2 instead of COMMAND+F2. To cycle
through active windows, the key combination would be CTRL+COMMAND+1 instead
of COMMAND+F1.
